Here is the download link to Beta 2... I just realised I didn't fix the 16:00 bug, I guess that will have to wait until Beta 3

So new in beta 2 is:
- bug fixes
- global alerts (admins can set an alert so that alerts appear for everyone)
- 7 day leadup alerts (so the alert appears every day in the seven days leading up to the alert)

If someone could confirm that it indeed works (it works on my site, but it would be bad if I missed an edit or something in the released package ) I will update the first post with the new download link.

Also tested it using Greek language and all is OK... But could you please consider the possibility to edit an already created alert?

Thanks for confirming that 0.0.2 works okay ChriZathens. I've thought about adding an edit function, but because it only takes about 20 seconds to delete the event and re-add it I felt it seemed like bloat.

Edit: Ah, thanks for telling me about that error. I will add a message in the next version

Yes, perhaps you are right about the edit function...
A few more:
The caching is a bit confusing... If you add an alert you have to wait for the cache time to pass until it shows... It may confuse a lot of people (make them think that it wasn't added)
And the 255 char limit is too low IMHO...(perhaps double would be OK)

And I have a question: Global option is only available to admins, right? And every user sees their own alerts, unless there are alerts set global by an admin, right?

Yes, that is a good point about the caching. I want the caching there for most of the time, because there is no need to query the database every time a user goes to the index page - but it should appear immediately so users aren't confused... something I will need to think about.

Yes, the global alerts option is only available to admins (well, I hope it is!). Every user sees their own alerts as well as any alerts submitted by the admin which have been set to global.
